The next morning, I packed all my things. Bev had made me some sandwiches and a large packed lunch, hopefully to see me through till I arrived in Vancouver. There was quite a lot in it, it was in a big Coors cool bag. Kevin was due to get his laser eye surgery today and wasn't allowed to drive himself so Bev would drop him off, then take me to the bus station, then return to pick him up once he was all done. I bought Jim and Bev a book about how to grow all sorts of fruits and vegetables in an allotment plot. It was a hefty hardback book and I had to make sure that it had a section on growing asparagus, Jim wasn't too sure how to grow it and I thought it would be a nice gesture. I gave them a card with the book and said thank you as many times as possible. I was so grateful for them putting me up for so long. I had such a great time seeing them all again. I thanked Jim for trying to help me out with the visa application. I wrote all this in the card and said it to Bev. We drove Kevin to the clinic, waited until he was all signed in. we said goodbye to each other, I wished him all the luck with his music career and with the operation. Bev drove me to the bus station, it was in down town Toronto, Bev knew the location as she explained, having to bring the boys when they went to and from London, not England, Ontario. I was early but it was fine, its always better to be early than late. I was excited about this mammoth journey across nearly a whole continent. It is over 2000 miles, but that is as the crow flies, the real life route weaves in and out between the great lakes, the up, around and through the rocky mountains. So it would be much longer than that. I had a book to read, I had my lap top with films on it. I only hoped the bus had power points for me to plug it in otherwise I would only be able to watch one short film.
